In early August, it emerged that 100-year-old Massey had died. The Second World War veteran, who reached the milestone earlier this year, was a popular figure on the club's Welcome to Wrexham TV show and after co-owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenny paid tribute to him, the Red Dragons honoured him further still on Wednesday.

The Instagram post reads: "We paid tribute to Arthur Massey this morning (September 4), a devoted Wrexham AFC supporter, who passed away recently at the age of 100. Thank you for all your loyal support over the years, Arthur – you'll always be a Red."
THE BIGGER PICTURE
Wrexham have been a huge success story in recent seasons. Since the Hollywood duo took over the club in early 2021, they have risen from the National League to League One and are developing a worldwide fanbase thanks to Reynolds and McElhenney's connections and business acumen. But off the pitch, classy acts such as these have endeared themselves to a growing number of football fans – both in and outside of the club.
